Where There’s Smoke is a weekly podcast that explores self-development through the filter of current events, pop culture, and experience. We surf the zeitgeist through an array of audio clips, quotes, concepts, and conversations.

In the spirit of The Daily Show and This American Life, we throw everything into an audio centrifuge that separates “what” from “why”. You walk away with insights and actionable solutions to improve your business, relationships, and almost any area of your life.

Much of life is out of our control. Often we are in
situations where our level of control is small, but the impact of
not having control is potentially large. And these moments can
challenge our character, hamper our forward progress, or just be
incredibly frustrating.

This week, we talk about how you can grasp control
from the hands of defeat. How you can stay proactive in these
situations where you have little influence, and by doing so, learn
how to increase your influence in seemingly impossible
situations.

To understand these ideas in action, we hear a powerful story from
celebrity nutrition and fitness expert JJ Virgin. Her story shows
how this approach to control can literally save a life.

Also, the host of the Entrepreneurs & Coffee podcast, Brendan
Hufford, shares some of his thoughts. And we announce The 42
Project - a chance for our creative listeners to share their
inspirations, promote themselves, and inspire others.
